Discusses movie, The Song
W
hat if there was a movie about the wisest man who ever lived?
What if the movie was derived from both the highest moments and
lowest moments of this man’s life? I had the pleasure to interview Writer
/ Director Richard Ramsey about his new movie, The Song which is
primed to deliver all of the above. It is a movie about King Solomon
specifically inspired by the books of Song of Solomon and Ecclesiastes.
What’s interesting about these two books of the Bible is that though the
same author - Solomon, writes them they reflect two vastly different
perspectives. The Song of Solomon is a love book; and Ecclesiastes
is written toward the end of Solomon’s life when he was in spiritual
decline and everything, according to Solomon, is “meaningless”. The
distinct contrast between the two books, or chapters of Solomon’s life,
set the stage for a very interesting, thought provoking, heart stirring
movie. Writer/Director Richard Ramsey takes a fresh, modern spin on
a classic tale about power, love, greed, and longing for more out of life
with his first major motion picture, The Song, which hits theatres nation
wide on September 26, 2014.
